| May 2, 2016 at 0:43 | comment | added | Joel Derfner | Ah. I use latinlexicon.org, where they don't seem to mark short vowels. | |
| May 2, 2016 at 0:40 | comment | added | Joel Derfner | Actually, bizarrely, in the version I'm looking at, Lewis Elementary has fār, but Lewis & Short has far. (I go back and forth between both, hence my mixed transcription.) I've removed it so that at least the answer is using one dictionary instead of two, but more than that I don't know. | |

| May 1, 2016 at 15:47 | comment | added | Joel Derfner | Hunh—I thought it was just farro. Shows you what I know! (Though of course farina is "flour*, so I wonder whether etymologically at some point they were just like, oh, let's just call all grains "far-something" and be done with it. | |
